On his way back to Amsterdam from New Zealand Jacques Bekker's plane is delayed and all of a sudden he has four hours to kill. Rather than go sightseeing in Sydney with his tiresome travelling companions, on a whim he decides to look up an old flame - his first teenage love. He arrives on her street, just as a very stylish woman is loading expensive luggage into the back of a smart car. Thirty years vanish in the blink of an eye and before Jacques knows it he's become accomplice in a disappearing act that will soon be front page news. But by then Jacques and Monique will be well on the way to the heart of Australia and to the treacherous heart of their teenage past.
